Do-It-Yourselef Live Trap

Do-It-Yourselef Live Trap MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 26-4-17 At times there are too many foxes running around Peter Peters' farm. That's when he pulls out his home-built fox trap. He notes it can also be used for other small animals like raccoons, skunks, etc. The best thing about the trap is that it works as well as commercial wire traps but costs virtually nothing to build using scrap parts. It's simply a wood box with a sliding door on one end and a screen-in wall at the other. "Animals won't enter a trap if they can't see through it," Peters notes. The trap measures 4 ft. long, 18 in. wide, and 2 ft. high and is equipped with a tilted ramp with a rod on it that holds the door up. When the animal reaches the halfway point on the ramp, the ramp tilts over and pulls the rod away from the door which causes it to fall down.
